Conditions for Approval Workflow Steps
You can add conditions to a step in an approval workflow to determine if the step will be performed or skipped and, if skipped, what will happen next.
For example, if the total monetary amount of a purchase order is over a certain amount, you can have it routed to different approvers than if it is under a certain amount.
You add conditions to an approval workflow step in the Conditions field in the Approval Steps grid on the Workflow tab in in the desktop application.
Each condition is made up of a DPS column (field), an operator, and a value that you enter on the Conditions dialog box that opens from the Conditions field in the Approval Steps grid.
For each condition, you choose what happens if the condition is not met: approve the step, skip to the next step, mark as final approved, or assign to the approval workflow administrator.
Total Amount and Multicurrency
If you use multiple currencies in DPS, the values of the Total Amount and Total Not to Exceed Amount fields are displayed in the following ways:
| Application | Column (field) | Currency |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Orders | Total Amount | Functional currency of the active company |
| Total Not to Exceed Amount | Transactional currency | |
| Purchase Requisitions | Total Amount | Transactional currency |
| Item Requests | Total Amount | Transactional currency |
